Hand spinning my own yarn+ Swatch Knitting for color work Project // Merino + Baby Camel Yarns🧶✨

- Right Before I went to Fibre west Convention at the end of last March, I decided to spin my 3rd Spin Project. This was my first attempt at a thicker yarn weight which I think resulted in a stunning bouncy yarn! As a little bonus, I swatched and test knit the yarn in a color work, and as a simple swatch to better show my spin and final yarn! Enjoy!
*Also I am not an instructor, and have just started my spinning journey at the beginning of the year! so this is all fun and game *

Oh wow! You’ve taken to spinning like a duck to water. That second spin is really consistent considering it’s a second spin.
I started spinning almost a year ago, in August of last year and got my e-spinner in November. My goal was to be able to spin lace weight yarn, because my favourite thing to knit is delicate lace shawls. The thinner the yarn, the happier I am. And I’m doing it! Eek!
Careful, because it’s highly addictive. By January, I’d bought an alpaca fleece. I’m slowly working through processing it, in between knits and spins.
Have fun!
yes its so addicting! I love it! thank you!
and wow a alpaca fleece! it must be so soft, lucky! I also hope to process a fleece and clean it one day, but i know nothing about that just yet.
@@knittingwitheve - If you find you enjoy spinning alpaca, I’m told it’s one of the easiest to clean because it has no lanolin. That means the ick you have to remove consists of dust and VM (vegetable matter). Depending on the alpaca, there’ll be guard hairs to pull out.
My fleece barely has any guard hairs, so I got through those pretty fast (comparatively). After that, you have a choice: wash the dust out before or after spinning. One wash should do the trick. No danger to your drains (congealing lanolin can do a number on them). For fiber prep, you have the usual choices: from the lock, from the cloud, carded or combed. I’ve already done a test spin and my preference goes to combed. Most people prefer carded because alpaca is very fine with less crimp than most kinds of sheep wool. I will card up all my short ends left over from combing though. Anything completely unsuitable for spinning goes into a box that I’m sending to a cousin, who is a fibre artist with a passion for felting.
You can chain ply for a 3 ply. I have the same wheel and only 3 bobbin’s as well. 😊
great tip! i forgot about that one! that will also give you a different end result as well! thanks 💚🌻
So relaxing watching you spin. Love the colors.
Thanks so much 😊
the colors are so pretty T_T
